We are surrounded with metrics we can choose to measure our lives by. And we have no end of apps and tools and widgets and trackers we can use. We live by the streak or we die by the streak. So some people say, anyhow. I’m not a fan of streak… for some...

I’ll talk more about my ongoing battle with ambition vs. contentment and how that’s affecting my goal making process, but for now here are my January goals. After the magical build up of Christmas, the fun of the day itself, and the dead zone afterwards,...

I had a bad experience in Tesco recently. I was in my local branch of the huge UK supermarket, at the checkout, when my checkout operator was approached by a supervisor who proceeded to reprimand her for not giving customers the blue charity tokens and for not being...

Phase Two is my own name, by the way. That’s kind of how it feels since the non-essential retail was allowed to re-open, which was last Monday here in England. Before then, it was all about staying home unless you were doing something essential – like a...
